Horny cartoon cat teaches about safe sex

French is considered to be the language of love – and that may explain why the country has taken a rather unique approach to sex education and prevention. Smutley the Cat, a cartoon kitty, is the nation's mascot of sex education and teaches about the drawbacks of having unprotected sex with multiple partners in a new YouTube clip.

In the two-minute video, which was produced by the French safe sex advocacy group AIDES, Smutley can be seen entering a number of hot spots where he picks up multiple partners. Among his encounters, he gets busy with a turtle at a bar called Furballs, a bunny in a steam room, a fish in an elevator, a fox in a taxi cab, several chickens in a locker room, a pig in an S&M dungeon, and an elephant in a library, among others.

At the end of the video, the screen reads "He's got nine lives, YOU only have one. Protect yourself."

Smutley is drawn in an old-timey fashion, much like Disney's early Mickey Mouse animations. The song Bad Reputation by Joan Jett plays in the background.
